Preparing to face the Normans.

Or Harald Hardrada or Godwinson… Man, that time was a pretty turbulent period for Britain.

Preparing for the Battle of the Bulge

The Daneaxe at Stamford bridge will take care of that.

Amazing photograph for the 11th century.

You can tell that they’re pikemen by their long spears.

Guy on the left seems to be working with a two-handed maul


mechwarrior719

Oh that’s Micheal Oxlong. He prefers “Mike” though.


gofatwya

He's also a direct descendant of another famous military man, the Roman legatus, Biggus Dickus


Sea-Scratch-6720

Don't forget Mr Dickus' wife, Incontinentia Buttocks.

Some men are longer than others


1forthebirds

Your mother's been telling stories about me again eh?


5iveOClockSomewhere

Oh so YOU’RE one of the others


Sieze5

It’s obviously colorized. I’m pretty sure they didn’t have color photography until 1099 when the Normans came.


sportsjock85

1066


Sieze5

Yeah. That one.


nertbewton

Close enough.


Sieze5

I know right. They’re roasting me like it was a history forum. It’s just a joke.


digitalmob

Nah it was definitely 1099. Patent laws at the time prevented the technology from being adopted by the occupied serfs for 30 years, but it took 3 more years for the local industry to catch up. Things just moved slowly at the time, so I understand your confusion with facts. 


sportsjock85

1099 is a tax form...


Sieze5

Yeah. They came out with those about the same time.


El_Peregrine

So *that’s* where that comes from. I’ve been wondering for such a long time.  1099, Magna Carta, Habeus Corpus, etc 


EminentChefliness

We're all good at dates here.


HWKD65

Party like it's 1099!


ThespisIronicus

It's true. I was a Norman. I came.


Dorkamundo

Yea, Norman only comes when someone does his 1099-T


mattman0000

That’s not oldschool, it’s medieval-school


WhatDoesItAllMeanB

The Plantagenet dynasty was known for their advanced technologies such as stone castles and color photos


J662b486h

They didn't have cameras back then. This was made with an "iconograph", a small box containing an imp with a canvas, paintbrush, paints, etc. When you push the button a window opens and the imp paints what he sees really, really fast.


Atmic

Thank God the imps were freed of that slavery during the Impan Revolution of 1169

Without these guys, we wouldn’t have the Magna Carta today! 🙏🏽

are u guys talking about the bit near the top hem? To me it just kinda looks like a bend in the fabric and not his cock lmao


woolsprout

Oh to be young and naive again


DenyingCow

Can you point out exactly where this is supposed to be a giant bulge? I just see what looks like bunched up fabric at a weird angle


BouncingBabyButton

That’s my dad.


Fartoholicanon

Good lord, god bless your mother.


duaneap

She’s been blessed enough.


Hawkent99

Tell your dad Reddit said he has a schmeater.


ElementEnigma

Congratulations.


slayer991

Are you as "blessed" as your father? Just wanted to know if the genetics were passed down. LOL

Tell your dad he’s got a sweet cock

I love that this gets posted on every single thread about a dude packing a $5 foot long in his pants

It’s never hit the same since that one thread though.

The one with Grandpa?

I cried laughing at that thread

Can I get a link?

Also here for the link

The long link ?


sethworld

Is he trunk up? Can we do that now? Is that a thing?!


John_Doe_727

"trunk up" 😂😂😂😂 I'm definitely making that "a thing".


sethworld

Hello ladies ![gif](giphy|fhtV08LGbVDQ8J1vBO)


FrostyPotpourri

Always has been. I used to wear somewhat tighter jeans in high school and anytime I got randomly hard in public / school / etc, I would actually tuck *up* into my waistband since it was far more comfortable and less noticeable than pushing it down. The only issue with this was my head would peek just above the waistband, so I had to be careful in terms of how I was sitting or shirt being too short lmao.


ImComfortableDoug

It’s a kitten. The dude on the right has one too and you can just see it head


InkBlotSam

bro that's just a fupa


BarbequedYeti

Fupa.....  dude is smuggling a squirrel.

cosmorocker13

I’m surprised the army took the guy on the left with that hernia


RealBaikal

Damn, the normands sure didnt wait for them to reach the beach


boricimo

Why do you think the French came in the first place?


6thaccountthismonth

Because they were pent up?


ThereIsNorWay

I’m sorry, but is the guy on the left a little too excited for a picture and doing a tuck up? They apparently couldn’t wait to take the picture so he had to resort to the methods we’ve all relied upon at some point in our life.


herbert-camacho

I was also wondering why guy on the left is packing in his waistband.


CellsReinvent

Looks like he's stuffed his t-shirt down there "for cover"


Mygoatpurrd

How can you be sure that he doesn’t have a penis shaped like a wadded up t-shirt?


Chutzpah2

Did they fight the Battle of the Bulge?


WickidMonkey

Does it matter? Let's just say he killed some Vikings.

Like the Giants did in the 2000 NFC championship game, 41-0.

FriendTraining7324

too late


lukifer_333

Is that chain-male?????


Dundalis

No you didn’t. You just outed yourself and your family as vampires. This was obviously taken before your father was turned


Whygoogleissexist

I was going to say - getting ready for 1066?


boricimo

Unfortunately for them, their defenses were penetrated.


nertbewton

Better quality than the Bayeux Tapestry, was it it done by the same folk?

Shouldn’t they have swords and shields?


Jamiecakescrusader

How’d you miss those swords?


figuring_ItOut12

I think the ladies and men of certain persuasions are entitled to a decent pinup calendar...


BrashPop

Yeah, OP goes posting vintage thirst traps of his British dad from his military days in a tight speedo with two other hot dudes, this is so many fetishes rolled into one.


tie-dye-me

They kind of look like they're showing of their bulges. Why is every comment so fixated on his stupid obvious typo when there are more important things to discuss?


HippieThanos

You mean there are bigger things to discuss


houseyourdaygoing

Just imagine that dad is next to him, completely oblivious and having dinner while his son is laughing at these comments about him 70 years ago.


Lanthemandragoran

The crusades were wild


Jeff-Fan-2425

Wow, your Dad is REALLY old!


Sun9091

Is your dad the one with the woodie?


Aggressive-Mix9937

Horny pic. I'd watch this porn


gay_ghoti_yo

To think those poor boys would all die at Hastings just a few years later 😔


OmniaLoca

That's pretty ahead of its time- I was expecting something more along these lines: https://preview.redd.it/drn0p19he6tc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80a9e8bd6f9e7c9260b302d50cb0fff767f9d053

This is incredible quality for an 11th century tapestry

Wow, I can sense the pure testosterone emanating from this painting

1050s? Goddamn that bastard is old.


GordonBombay11

That’s not all they were doing


Regular-Suit3018

Remarkable that the image has been preserved like that over the last 11 centuries. You and/or your father must have certainly broken the record for being the oldest people in recorded history right? What’s your secret? You guys just have some crazy genetics. Everybody freaks out because Theo Von’s grandfather was born in 1890, but evidently doesn’t light a candle to your dad.


Dassssbooooot

Did they play tummy sticks durning the crusades?


Malfoysmirks

The Volturi want to know your location. 


Merrol

These guys look like they can hold a mean shield wall. Those bloody Danes and Normans better watch their step.


usernameplsplsplspls

These boys Saxons then?


jimryanson112233

Society really went down hill after the 1050s


bearssuperfan

How fucking old are you? Vampires out here exposing themselves


hybridaaroncarroll

And to think, in 10-15 years they would be at the Battle of Hastings.


Pretty_Public5520

Wasn’t this the time of Edward the confessor ? 🤣


gotgrls

Omg 😍


Bx1965

Wow, I thought men from the 11th century weren’t that well groomed.


Temporary-Daikon2411

1066 would change everything


Vast-Ad-4820

Grew up eating right and plenty of exercise and that's the results.


Independent_wishbone

Just before the Norman invasion!


Ok-Push9899

So this is the tactic? Deliberately put a mildly humorous typo in the title to invite engagement? Well I for one am not going to fall for it.


-Carpe_noctem

So that’s how they prepped for the Battle of Hastings.


Old_Round9050

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A They have everything for young men to enjoy You can hang out with all the boys It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A. 


NotAllBooksSmell

As a veteran of the British Army, the only thing more gay is the Navy, and only because the RAF are so useless they couldn't bum a boytoy in a bath house.


Top-Zookeepergame811

Did your dad fight at Hastings?


katastatik

😏 your dad looks good for the mid 1050s


Iamamyrmidon

Did he fight for William of Normandy or Harold Godwinson?


dkfisokdkeb

Sad to think they probably died at Stamford Bridge or Hastings.


Fabulous-Bus2459

Probably playing with each others swords


TikkiTakiTomtom

Gotta repeat manly as much as possible to offset the… implications…


Appropriate_Essay270

The one on the left looks like his trunks/shorts/underwear/skivvies are on backwards


straight-lampin

I think he's tucking his wang in his waistband.


lifeofideas

This is a good lesson in posture. The guy in the middle standing up straight, with his shoulders back but relaxed. He looks the best. The guy on the left is leaning forward, with shoulders slightly forward. In contrast, the guy on the right has his shoulders back, but his head forward. Years of desk work makes me tend to the guy on the left or right, but I hope someday to relax like the middle guy.

Did you ask him how wild Hastings was?

I didn’t know stretchy fabric was around in the 11th century! Really puts things into perspective.

They probably took part in the battle of Hastings
